fication.

' My inventlon relates to improvements in. the object of the invention being atomizers, to provide'an atomizer which can be cheaply manufactured, so that it can be sold at an -unusually low price and yet most efliciently perform the functions for which it is intended.

A further object is to provide an atomizer in which the air tube and liquid tube are secured in a sheet metal shell, punched or otherwise shaped, and providing a strong support for the tubes.

A further ObJGGt is proved construction of shell operating as,

or in con unction with, a stopple, closing the open end of a bottle or receptacle.

With these and other objects in view the lnvention conslsts 1n certaln-novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully reduced stopple 5, although,

hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a vlew in vertical section, illustratin'g one form of my invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view in transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1,illustrating a modification.

1 represents a bottle having the ordinary tapering neck 2. 3 is the shell or casing of my improved atomizer which has its lower end 4 secured within a hollow of course the shell itself may fit the bottle, but in most cases it is desirable to provide a thickness of material around the shell, of suitable material which will snugly close A cap 6 having a flange 7 at'its edge, is secured on the open end of the shell in any approved manner, and may be printed, em-

bossed, or ornamented in any approved to provide an ,im

cork, glass, or any other through the bottom!) of shell 3 and through the side of shell ,3 and is preferably secured at both points by solderlO. lirepresents an air tube which extends through one side wall of the shell as shown at 12 and is likewise secured by a drop of solder 10.

Nozzle 13. is provided at the outlet end of air tube 11 and is made'with a slightly tapering nipple 141 which projects through an opening 15 in the wall "of shell 3 and into the end of tube 11, and a drop of solder 10 operates to securely-hold the parts together, although there is considerable frictional engagement and binding action.

The nozzle 13 has a longitudinal passage While of course, air may be forced in any I approved manner through the air tube, I have shown an ordinary bulb 18 connected by a hose 19 with one end thereof.

To prevent a partial vacuum in the bottle 1, vent holes 20 are provided in cap 6 and bottom 9. I,

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 3, I provide a shell 21 which constitutes a cap fitting over the open end of bottle 23. In this modification, the liquid tube 2 1 extends only through the side of shell 21, but the air tube 25 corresponding to air tube 11,

is secured in precisely the same manner as thepreferred form.

In the modification, I also use solder indicated at 10 to secure the tubes in the shell, and Ihave shown an air bulb 26 directly connected to the air tube.

With both forms of my invention, the shell can be stamped or punched from sheet metal, and the tubes can be rigidly'secured without the necessity of expensive machine work.

' i I have dispensed altogether with the-use of screw-threaded parts, and have provided a most eflicient atomizer which can be manufactured at an extremely low cost.

Various slight changes may be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention and hence I do not limit myself'to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having fully described my invention,

what I'cl'aim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. An atomizer, comprising a shell, 3. liquid tube projecting through one side wall of the shell, and having its outlet end outside of the shell, an air tube projecting through one wall of the shell, and a nozzle secured to the other wall of the shell and to the air tube and directing the air across the outlet end of theliquid tube.

2. An atomizer comprising a shell, a liquid tube projecting through the shell and secured thereto, an air tube projecting through one wall of the shell, a nozzle projectingthrough the other wall of the shell and secured in the air tube, said nozzle having a restricted orifice adjacent the outlet end of the liquid tube.

3. An atomizer comprising a shell, a liquid tube projecting through one wall of the shell, an air tube projecting transversely of the shell, a nozzle having a tapering end projecting through theshell and into the cated in proximity to the outlet end'of the liquid tube, a cap secured on the open end of the shell-and vent openings in said cap and in the bottom ofthe shell.

5. An atomizer comprising a hollow shell having a reduced lower end, a hollow stopple secured around the reduced end of the shell, liquid and air tubes secured .in T the shell, and projecting through the side wall thereof above the stopple, and a cap secured over the open end of the shell.

In testimony whereof I have signed mv name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
